Definitely get you test levels checked in your late 20s, or at least by 30. I'm 32 and mine is well below normal. My NP said it probably started dropping in my 20s.

I think its usefull if one is doping

Thanks Clarence. I didnt know about the 10% rule, its an easy rule of thumb that can show me what is realistic. Btw thanks I became vegan after seeing your content. Cheers

@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise lifestyle changes can boost testosterone naturally, I understand some people need it for medical reasons. TRT is a lifelong commitment, put some deep thought into it before you jump on

The most refreshing answer by any fitness channel ever. Most dance around the question even if they don’t outright claim natural. Many give drawn out explanations for why they are/aren’t natural. The simple “no” gives no nuanced explanation or justification. Just the truth.

what if ur natty and u lie about being fake natty what happens then will ppl respect u more

@@coachingconfidant2785 whatre u talking bout, you can't be a fake natty if you're natural.

Keep up the fake natiness

Underrated comment.

LMFAO

No comparison to the King Clarence which is a honest atlethe. Mike O Tren isnt impressive, all this drugs injected, thats a sport for genderless who cant choose their hormone levels

I wish I had videos like this when I was in high school

I'm sorry to dissapoint but I'm afraid you're a victim of Sophistry here, rather than critical reasoning. Clarence unfortunately committed the Classic Logical FALLACY of "slippery slope" -----that drug test cannot be 100% accurate, that there are drug cheats doesnt mean drug test is NOTHING. It also doesn't mean degree of rampancy of PED use is uniform across sports. Moreoever, it doesn't mean the degree of PED use in sports governed by WADA is at all comparable to the degree of PED use in unregulated sports. In fact, I would argue athletes in 100m and Olympic lifting use FAR LESS than those in more unregulated sports such as strongman, powerlifting, crossfit, and bodybuilding. To lump them all together and claim Olympic lifting is no different from your next door 24 hour gym or internet fitness guru is just a Gross oversimplification... I don't think anybody or WADA has ever claimed an athlete is completely NATURAL SIMPLY BECAUSE they pass its drug test. Their definition of "natural" is always qualified. Between an athlete who passes a drug test and an athelte who abuses PED as much as he wants there is a WORLD of difference. Clarence is knocking on an open door here

@@runhenry WADA don’t claim it. But the vast majority of the population think these guys are natural. They are portrayed as these superhero’s and given a bigger spotlight then “untested sports”. Meanwhile, they have a dirty little secret that they hide from the young, up and coming athletes by taking peds. That’s the problem.

@@runhenry slippery slope is not a fallacy. it is proven in reality

Do you mean just anyone? Or specifically people who are into strength training themselves? Because it's pretty easy to get uninitiated non-lifters to think you're on steroids, just do a ton of fluff and pump upper body training for two or three years then wear a tight t-shirt everywhere you go lol.

@@yewtewbstew547it’s when you still look big in a baggy t shirt, that’s when you know you’re not natty

I thought the exact same thing, wanted to comment on it and found your comment. It's just so pretty and beautiful

That's it, the name of the game, I've that one on my wishlist for so long.

Excellent point. The ability to synthesise protein and greater bone density will likely stay with most moderate users for the rest of their lives.

He could also be a little gifted lol.

Yeah testosterone in particular is basically putting your body through a second male puberty when used in above-natural doses, which obviously you can never really undo. You can allow the muscle mass to atrophy back down to your pre PED size and that will wipe out _most_ of the "unnatural" performance gains, but you're never going to reverse everything.

Also you can recover better so use UFC as an example; a fighter training in thailand can buy test and peptides over the counter... That same fighter might be able to do an hour muay thai training, an hour of bjj, an hour of sparring & fully recover and be good to go the next day... Whereas a natural fighter might only be able to recover from one session. Getting away with ped use doesnt just make you stronger but allows you to do a LOT more training... And then you can just clean up and get your bloodwork back to baseline

How did it go? What did your squat go from and to?

@@Robdutton91 started at a tough 160kg atg and ended with a comfortable 180kg atg

Honestly I've met guys who's 185 pure shredded all inserts college football player all natural. It's hard as hell to tell because with his shirt off you'd think 1000% dude is on the juice.

"Anywhere near is debatable", but I get what you're saying

People lie to themselves all the time it's no surprise anywhere

Narcissism is much more powerful than honor

Peds make you WAY more money. Point blank. This is the answer. It is easily worth the scrutiny and hate you get. It isnt cheating when everyone is cheating

Tbf everyone responds differently to steroids and not sure if the study was conducted long enough or with a effective pool of lifters

It definitely is, tons of anecdotal reports with wayyyy more. Maybe it was for specifically weightlifting though, which is super form based

​@@dkis8730this means weight adjusted

GVS has refined his opinion on someone like Russell and thinks he's natural now. Considering Russell is Nigerian, and there is a mind-blowing concentration of strength genes there, and every story about "that Nigerian that works out in my gym" is about insane genetics and muscle belly definition, I'd guess Russell is just top-tier natty and we can actually see how far Nigerian genes can go with abundance of resources like food and training regimes. Who ACTUALLY knows, I guess nobody but Russell. But I'm willing to bet more people are natty than we think.

Increased regeneration, bigger strength, faster growth. Without PEDs you get to your natty max after 15-20 years of hard work. With PEDs maybe 5 years, then you start going beyond.

@@lukassky8997 15-20 is a long time but if you're talking absolute 100% of your natural potential then yeah it is probably up there. It's even more nuts when you look at the difference in "short term" gains though imo. Like I'd say you can hit about 80-90% of your "natty max" within 3-5 years if you do everything right, then after that you're just grinding for incremental improvement. But if you hop on gear from day 1, you can hit that 80-90% level in about 1 year. Obviously drug/dose dependent. It's crazy to see. There was a gym I used to go to with a lot of PEDs going about where I saw that happen nearly every year. Because I'd see the skinny kids coming in fresh out of high school at like 140lbs, then some of them would start talking to the older regulars who were openly on gear. Then I'd see them again next summer and they'd be pushing 190lbs with veins popping out and acne everywhere. Then next summer they're 220lbs and glowing red lol. When people see top level strength athletes and bodybuilders they'll often say things like "yeah but they still had to work hard to get there." And to be fair, that is usually true. But when we're just talking about the people who are on gear yet still merely hovering around the upper limits of what they could have achieved naturally, those guys are just pissing about, they're not working hard at all.

@@yewtewbstew547 You will reach, but most do not reach that potential due to personal life or frequent injuries. I trained naturally until a month ago, anabolic steroids make a big difference, the fact is that they also damage our body. It is best to take testosterone with another preparation that protects against gynecomastia. Even with only testosterone (testosterone is the base without it, don't take anything else) small doses give good results, otherwise you harm your body.

Explain to me what you meant by the arm length affecting the snatch

@@thechosenone93 Other things being equal, athletes with arm length will snatch more weight because they can pull and catch the bar higher. Lu Xiaojun explained this point pretty clearly in the video "REVEALED: LU XIAOJUN's top secret for the SNATCH"

@@dustinl308 Ah thanks for that. And does that mean that long armed lifters will clean less ?

@@thechosenone93 Technically lifters with long femurs will struggle more in clean, but generally long arms and long femurs go together, so yes to some extent. Clean is not as dependent on body structure as snatch though. Developing greater leg strength and pulling strength can overcome that, although ppl who squat with long femurs are at a disadvantage.

@@dustinl308 I believe that disadvantages can be overcome. So for my back squat,because of my longer legs/femurs I should squat to parallel or a little below it,and not ATG? Because I don’t feel any resistance and I have seen a certain professional weightlifter squat/front squat/full snatch to parallel? What’s your opinion on this?

I feel you, bro.

Idk I think the 10% thing does work

Because you should be considering weight adjusted

I think he's natural but his squat is on steroids

@@clarence0 based

in seriousness though, is Toshiki natural?

does the 10% rule work with him?

@@neohubris If applied to his snatch and c&j then I'd say yes. For his squats, not so much. On the other hand he's a genetic freak with perfect leverages for squatting, so you never know.

did you remain the same bodyweight and/or body composition after supplementing testosterone? the study the video references claims that it's a 10 percent increase only if you remain around the same bodyweight, clarence just forgot to mention that. the thing is people start taking gear and gain 20 lbs of lean mass, and of course the strength increase is going to be more than 10% if you're gaining a significant amount of muscle as well

do believe russwole is natty?

There is no way you're getting over 10% on a true TRT dose. There is also no way you're getting 100% increase with just 500mg of test. That means you're claiming before I went on TRT and my max bench was 315, my max is now 345. Or in your theory, if I did 500mg blast for 20 weeks you think my max would move to 630lbs. Sorry dude, you legit have no idea what you're talking about.

The 10% rule applies to your strength numbers when at your natural peak I think.

​@@JK-pp2xl I think a lot of pro powerlifters would disagree. There was this powerlifter who appeared on a Bradley Martyn video that was talking about how he started training less than 2 years ago and he's squatting 800+. You think he could squat 720 naturally in 2 years of training? 😂 If you can bench 350 natural, blasting a cycle for a decent amount of time would get you a high 500's bench, assuming you're heavy enough to begin with.

It works if you look at John Haack. Look at his natty total and boom...his enhanced total as he went on the sauce. It's way more than 10% but he also went up a weight class...the actual big benefit of PEDs. You can easily fill out a higher weight class in much less time and while the impact on relative strength without weight gain might only be around 15%, it is rather massive when looking at absolute strength gains alongside weight gain.

You believed he was natty before ?

@@jangerloff3521 man I honestly don't know what to believe. USAPL is ACTUALLY testing these guys 3 to 4 times a year, much more than what IPF does with Taylor for example, so you have to give them some kind of credit. To this day, I still watch Russel physique and ask myself how can he be like that without taking any PED, but at the same time you are not supposed to look like me if you are the strongest man in the world when it comes to the 83kg weight class

SSJBobb is the most interesting one too. He went from shitposting on ig to being the best usapl lifter regardless of class in like 3 years. His 3 rep max PR is good enough to beat anyone in his weightclass. Hes even on record for saying he can't even defend his own natty status because hes made so much progress

As an junior&open IPF worlds competitor, I'm extremely sure this can be increased all the way up to 20% & a tid bit more, in powerlifting... Look at presumed natural IPF lifters in certain weightclasses, VS. the american ones competing in untested (lol) federations, and many there lift over 20% more than those in for example IPF (Yes, people use drugs in the IPF as well of course)
